gluegglich White

Description

Made just like in the old days. Our Gluegglich White is characterized by deeply rooted Austrian grape varieties from different vintages. Spontaneously, partially fermented on mash, no fining and no filtering. And patiently matured in wood. A dry wine with fresh acidity and vibrance.

Tasting note
A satiny golden yellow hue. Strong legs around the glass. The nose is fruit-driven and includes scents of dried apple slices, apple sauce and even marigolds. Completely dry with a strong citrus expression; lively acidity  laced with saltiness. The compact body reflects texture with grip, dynamic tension and notes of salt-crusted orange slices. Firm and flowing with a salty finish. A perfect universal food companion. (tasted by wine academic Johannes Fiala)
